airbag module is probably zapped by the unregulated voltage from the new or old alternator.
mostlikely on the new one specially if the technician did not disconnect the netgative on the battery when he installed the new alternator.

or if this car has been in a wreck, the modleule itself needs to be hard reset.

my srs light came on this past week. dealer said it was a faulty seat belt and replacing it is covered under honda's lifetime warranty.

My SRS light just came on in my 02 Accord. Need to try this reset procedure first, but I did find out about the OPDS Warranty Extension. Funny thing was I was never notified of this and I've been the original owner. Warranty says it applies to all US built Accords with OPDS sensor.

This paper clip jump works. It turned the light off and when I checked with the service manager at the dealer I use (a man I trust and not all dealers are rip offs BTW) he said this is legit. But if the light continues to come on it should be checked. It hasn't yet. I can say that after 11 years and 130k miles, if this is the one major issue in all that time I experience, that is not bad.

If the SRS light is on its because of a problem. If the DTC 9-1 is set, it will require replacement of the airbag module. Take it to the dealer for proper diagnosis. Airbags can kill you if you do something wrong.

Honest Review

I had similar problem where SRS light came of from no apparent reason approx. 1 yr ago on my 2000 Accord EXV6. After reading posts on this site I gave it a try and to my surprise it WORKED!!!! Now I want to share my experience..First of all in my car, SRS light never "blinked" after I paperclipped it and turned it on..instead light was constant..but it followed the same sequence that it turned off, I disconnected the clip, it came back on and reconnected the clip and it turned back off and then followed by 2 blinks..2 blinks was a assurance that it worked and it indeed it worked!! I also had to try it 3-4 times as it was not blinking in the beginning but stayed on however it worked..Just follow the steps fron previous post from AZNdude1983!! Also I am a very novice at car repairs and this the "daring" step for me!! I am also attaching picture of MES connector here and how to locate it!! Also I used 2 paper clips (straightened ones!!), one in each hole and When i had to connect it I touched two together and to disconnect I "untouched" two clips. I did this as in short time, I was not able to make a paperclip to connect and disconnect while looking at SRS light!! So i modified it!! Just FYI. MES plug is small yellow one at the top, behind the fuse box on driveside. You can access it after removing the panel!! If you can see closely it is the one which I have pointed with paperclip!! Not the big yellow connector at the bottom but the small one at top!! Good luck!!

AZNdude1983 rocks!! It still works as of 01/02/2012 on 2001 Accord !! Million thanks to everyone!!

I followed exact directions and it worked....I made following modifications.
1) After removing the Plastic FUSE door on Right side, I unscrewed only 2 screws on the panel to partially loosen the Panel below the Steering wheel without completely removing it.
2) Then, used MIRROR to locate, feel and PULL-OUT the correct YELLOW Adapter easily by HAND.
3) I used 2 SAFETY Pins as they were pointed, thin and could easily slide inside the 2 holes.
4) With one HAND holding the 2 Pins together (shorting them) and with other HAND TURNED the Engine ON.

Rest of the directions were same as "AZNdude1983" mentioned....
It took me 2 tries....as I was a little slow the first time.

BUT, it FINALLY WORKED !!!! like a CHARM.
Total time: 30 mins (being a novice).

Thanks.
